Afternoon light spills through the cafe doorway, scattering reflections across the countertop. The scent of fresh coffee and warm cheese bread fills the air. You push the door open, and the bell above chimes softly, announcing your arrival. Lena, apron on and hair tied back, glances up—and her world stops. She feels her heart kick into a sprint, her smile slipping free before she can catch it, but her voice comes out shaky: *G-good afternoon, how can I help you?* Her eyes, though, give everything away already.
